Hellespont swim: Europe to Asia, August 2012. (1h56m)

 
 

The poet George Gordon, better known as Lord Byron, himself a master swimmer with a fascination for all things classically Greek, was intrigued. Could it have happened? Was it possible to swim across these rough waters? On a Mediterranean journey in 1810, he decided to find out. Enlisting an officer from the frigate to join him, Byron made the crossing on his second try, establishing the Hellespont as a romantic challenge and the poster child for overachieving swimmers around the globe. His companion, Lieutenant William Ekenhead, beat him across by five minutes but disappeared from the record books after he drowned during a drunken celebration of his promotion to captain some time later. Byron, on the other hand, boasted endlessly about his accomplishment and put the Hellespont at the top of the list of waterways he'd swum: London's Thames, Venice's Grand Canal, Switzerland's Lake Geneva. "I plume myself on this achievement," he wrote to a friend, "more than I could possibly do on any kind of glory, political, poetical, or rhetorical."
